Socrates went to the market
They said to him, "Come on in"
Yeah, Socrates went to the market
Look what they did to him
He had a little cup of wisdom
And a little cup of wine
He had a little cup of hemlock
And he counted up to nine
Socrates, infinite
Infinite, oh darling
Socrates went to the water
He tried to wash his hands
Yeah, Socrates went to the water
It rippled through his hands
They got him in a corner
In a place he couldn't swim
They cornered him with poison
There were more of them than him
Socrates, infinite
Infinite, oh darling
Socrates went to the future
He left them all behind
Yeah, Socrates, he didn't need
Those mediocre minds
He was a little ship of wisdom
On a lake of instant fools
Ask any executioner
He'll say, "I don't make the rules"
Socrates, infinite
Infinite
Infinite, oh darling
